Fall Chapter Meeting Set for October 18
Registration begins at 8:30 and research presentations at 9:00. Lunch will be at noon, followed by a featured guest or guests at 1:00. (Former Twins executive vice president Clark Griffith, who had been tentatively scheduled to appear, has had to cancel, but other potential guests are being pursued.) Howard Luloff will conduct his always-popular Jeopardy-style baseball quiz around 2:30. Attendees can head over to the Thornley-Himrich residence (1082 Lovell Avenue, Roseville, 651-415-0791) after the meeting to watch playoffs on television. Click here for a map and directions. The cost of the meeting is $8 with lunch and $5 without lunch. Please RSVP to Events Chair Howard Luloff at 952-922-5036, hfan77@webtv.net, by October 11. Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the meeting. Proposals must be made in writing (e-mail is fine) to Research Committee Chair Bob Tholkes, 3966 NE Reservoir Boulevard, Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421-4069, rjtholkes@msn.com, and should include a title and brief outline of what the presentation will consist of with emphasis on the research that will be included. Standard presentations are 20 minutes (with an additional eight minutes for questions) although the duration may be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the presenter and of the schedule. Generally, up to five presentations may be accommodated, and these will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The Research Committee (which also consists of Tom Swift, Dan Levitt, Rich Arpi, Cary Smith, and Stew Thornley) will finalize the schedule of research presentations by October 4, two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then.

If you are serious about writing for BDD please email me at jhamrahi@baseballdigestdaily.com and provide as much information on your background as you feel necessary. I will be contacting interested individuals directly with additional information.
